When Qin Feichang woke up, the first thing he saw was Egbert's bloody aesthetic painting on the ceiling of his bedroom.
Egbert himself was sitting on the bed playing a game, and the sound effects of killing people in the game could be heard faintly.
"Has the body been dealt with? Will it be discovered by anyone?" This was the first sentence Qin Feichang asked.
Egbert looked up at her, "Do you think I will kill someone?"
Qin Feichang asked back: "If someone comes to kill you, with your personality, won't you fight back?"
Indeed, at the beginning, Egbert wanted to kill the three wizards and mediums, but when he heard Qin Feichang's words "deal with the body" before he fell into a coma, he suddenly felt bored for some reason - he originally wanted to see if Qin Feichang would get angry with him if he killed someone.
Her reaction was so bland.
Two thoughts simultaneously occurred in his mind: "She is worthy of being the person I have chosen" and "Why doesn't she do what I want?" He felt a mixture of relief and regret.
"No kills." Egbert was making his five-kill mark in the game. "Life is boring anyway, let them run, maybe they can give me some fun."
There was something unexpected, Qin really wanted to. She dragged out the item with the lowest ranking on her schedule and ticked it. In her plan, such a stimulus test should be carried out after Egbert was more stable, but now it was ahead of schedule. Egbert performed well, and she felt a little relieved.
He seems to be very adaptable to the current society. It may be because he first lived in Rose Manor, which is a relatively simple living environment.
"I suggested you to help me make games before. Have you considered it?" Qin Feichang proposed again. She observed Eggbert's reaction. "If you don't want to go, stay at home. I'm going to stay at the company for a few days. I'm very busy at this time."
Egbert dropped the phone in his hand and said, "I'll go."
"Okay, everything is ready, let's go now." Qin Feichang got up and took care of herself. She had been sleeping all night, and it was about seven in the morning, just in time to get up for work.
"All ready... ? When did you prepare it?" Egbert looked doubtful. He remembered that she had just told him about this yesterday before she inhaled smoke and passed out. Is she ready now
"I've been ready since the beginning," Qin gave him a sweet treat very calmly, "I really hope you can work with me."
I hope he can turn his motivation for causing trouble into motivation for work, devote himself to his career, and stop torturing her with boredom.
Egbert: “…” Hearing her say that, I was actually a little happy.
A generation of terrifying boss has thus fallen into the vortex called social man.
At the beginning, Qin Feichang only arranged for Egbert to paint promotional pictures with canvas and paint.
"What do you want me to draw?"
“The ruined castle, the desolate and quiet feeling is very suitable for the background of our horror game.”
No one is more familiar with the ruins of the castle than Egbert, so of course he can paint it. Egbert looked at Qin Feichang deeply, sat down in front of the canvas and began his painting.
In his hands, the ruined castle is silent and eerie. In the gloomy picture, it seems that there are distorted shadows in every place, and the dark windows hide inexplicable chaos. All those who face this painting feel a chill in their hearts. The picture grabs their minds like magic, and after looking at it for a long time, it seems as if they can really see through the painting and enter the world in the painting.
"That's amazing!" The company employees who originally liked Egbert only because of his face were completely impressed by his talent and praised him three times a day.
Egbert likes people to flatter him. Qin Feichang observed this through his interaction with the landlady some time ago.
"Very good. I think you can draw more pictures in this series. It would be even better if you could draw a complete panoramic view of the Rose Manor. The comparison between the two sets of pictures will be more shocking." Qin Feichang got two sets of pictures from Egbert for free with just one sentence.
Employees: "Yes, yes, one picture is so beautiful, a set of pictures, I can't imagine it! It's too luxurious, this promotional picture will definitely become the soul of our game!"
"Your Highness's talent is as dazzling as your beauty. Compared to Your Highness, I feel like I am totally worthless!"
"Your Highness is amazing. I don't have any words to praise you. I am so happy to work with you!"
…
Because Egbert was like a little prince when he first entered the company, the employees privately jokingly called him Prince and His Highness. So when he came to work, for some reason everyone's default way of addressing him became His Highness.
Egbert: “…” These exaggerated compliments reminded him of the days at Rose Manor, where the maids and ladies were all like this.
He faced the canvas, and bit by bit he painted the ruined castle that he was most familiar with, and also bit by bit he recalled what the Rose Manor looked like when it was intact. The pools, gardens, pastures, and lakes… Everything was still vivid in his mind, and he put it into words.
When Qin Fei was tired from work, she would stand behind him with a cup of tea and watch him paint. When Egbert was painting seriously, the things he painted were beautiful for her to appreciate, such as this painting of a lotus pond in a summer rose garden. The warm yellow main color made the whole picture look extremely gentle.
To be honest, this cute and serious little crazy boy who draws makes her feel more sexy than ever.
Before the picture was finished, Qin Feichang instigated Egbert to work on the background setting of the game.
In addition to the mobile game she is currently working on, the second stand-alone game she is planning to make is called "Rose Manor", which is set against the backdrop of Egbert's ruined castle and will restore real history and stories.
Because of the curse, she and the other cursed people are still unable to describe what they experienced in the ruined castle, nor can they paint or write. In this case, let Egbert describe it himself.
She convinced Egbert to take on the task with just one sentence.
— "Don't you want everyone to know what happened in Rose Manor?"
Everyone he knows will "live" in this game as a character, and the player will become a member of the invaders, and different outcomes will occur depending on what they do on the island. Either die on the island, or escape the island and experience Egbert's curse.
Egbert taught himself game production and soon became an excellent game tycoon. He was responsible for the background, plot, setting, painting and planning. He especially liked to set up the plot for player death.
After seeing his settings, Qin couldn't help but wonder whether anyone would be able to complete this game after it was made.
But never mind, let him do it. This guy is a genius. As a boss, she has to trust the talents under her and not interfere with their performance.
Qin Feichang, who had entered work mode, had almost forgotten whether Eggbert was a dangerous person or her "boyfriend".
While the two of them were getting on track with their work, the witch and medium who had suffered a blow was recuperating in the secret residence provided by Leon and planning his next action.
They were determined to eradicate the destabilizing factor of the nightmare ghost, but they started off badly. The wizard Aura, who was invited from afar to help, had his body taken away by the ghosts. After finally expelling all the ghosts, his body was still lying stiff and cold on the bed, unable to move, with only his mouth still able to move.
"He can not only drive those ghosts, but also enhance their power. Otherwise, I would not become like this." Wizard Aura said with difficulty.
The psychic Ronica looked solemn. "The thick fog seems to be the medium that he uses to turn reality into illusion. The thick fog is his illusion. My illusion technique is far inferior to his."
Wizard Ross was also worried. "The Nightmare Ghost is not an ordinary ghost. He can turn reality into a false reality. We may be dragged into the dream and killed by him before we can react. We should be more cautious when dealing with him."
Wizard Ross didn't want to get involved in this matter at first, but after being asked by Leon and his son to go on a ship to Misty Island, he realized what a terrifying ghost they were dealing with, so he had to get involved.
This not only concerns his reputation that he has built over the years, but also his own life. After going to Kirishima, he also had a hidden curse on him. He knew that he was marked by the nightmare ghost.
"I have an idea." The psychic Ronika stroked her bell-shaped instrument, "I want to go see the girl next to the nightmare ghost. There is some connection between her and me."
"You mean, you are my grandmother's master?" When Qin Feichang was stopped, she thought the strangely dressed old lady in front of her was a fortune teller. Unexpectedly, she came up and revealed her identity, putting on the airs of an elder to condemn her, "Did you know that your grandmother passed away two weeks ago?"
Qin Feichang really didn't know, she had been very busy. She showed a polite look of regret, "Really? That's a pity, please accept my condolences."
Seeing her reaction, Ronika became even more angry, "Have you been deceived by that nightmare ghost? That ghost killed your grandmother, and you are still so close to him. You should avenge your grandmother!"
"I'm sorry." Qin Feichang smiled but his eyes were cold. "The granddaughter of your disciple, Luo Lan, has long been sacrificed by her. If she were still alive, she might be able to bear your accusations, but I don't need to. Sorry, I'm a little busy, so I won't accompany you."
"Stop!" Ronika pulled her relentlessly, staring at her with her sparkling eyes on her wrinkled face, "What do you mean by that? You're not Luo Lan?"
As she spoke, she held Qin Feichang's hand and checked it. She didn't notice anything unusual and frowned, "You are blaming your grandmother for being partial to you, but she is dead now. What does your attitude mean?"
Qin Feichang was born in the Qin family. Although they valued respecting the old and loving the young, they also paid attention to the virtues of the elders. If the elders themselves were not kind, how could the younger generations be willing to respect them? Therefore, from the beginning, Qin Feichang disliked the old grandmother and brother very much. She did not think that the two could be her relatives.
"If you came here to discuss this with me, I'm afraid there's nothing much to say." Qin's very polite smile faded.
"Wait, I came here for other things." Ronika realized that she was not buying her tricks, so she immediately changed her words, "Even if you blame your grandmother and don't want to avenge her, are you really willing to submit to that ghost? Do you know that he is a very dangerous nightmare ghost? You have been cursed by him and may be killed by him at any time. Don't you want to escape his control?"
"As long as you do as I say, I have a way to make him show his true form in front of you. His true form is not the beautiful one you see now. When you see his terrifying appearance, you will regret your current stubbornness!"
Qin was deeply thoughtful.
She was not persuaded by the old psychic who didn't understand the situation, but she felt that the plot before her was inexplicably familiar.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized that this was the plot of "The Legend of White Snake".
The snake demon Bai Suzhen concealed her identity and married the mortal Xu Xian. The monk Fahai recognized her true form, so Fahai came to persuade Xu Xian and told him that his wife was a demon...
So she took Xu Xian's script
Qin was speechless for a moment and looked at her watch. Well, she had wasted ten precious minutes of her life for this.
